If your take on how bad things are is as reliable is your guess as to what I'm thinking, then we could be in pretty good shape after all. OK, we got the crazies in charge and they're up to no good. That tells us nothing about how things are now and how things will be --it only gives us yet another excuse to whine and frankly we don't need more of those.
People whose opinion I respect greatly have told me that the worse that can happen is 'NewDeal 2.0'. My opinion is that I don't know what's going to happen, but considering how easily America blew off ND1.0, we're looking at a lot of strength here.
